Culture has always interested me. I like the colors and flavors of as many as possible without wholeheartedly conforming to any one particularly. I am born to a country that has a very diverse range of cultures. Some of these, such as the upper-caste Hindu culture, particularly from the North Indian regions, tend to dominate and bully over all other cultures. However, different cultures have strongly fought for their identities and held on to their grounds. Nevertheless, cultures of the socio-economically marginalized continue to struggle and claim...

Results of the elections in the ‘Indian’ capital of New Delhi are out. The populist party ‘AAP’ has achieved a thumping majority, humbling its opposition in manner that even AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal AKA ‘Muffler Man’ termed as ‘frightening’. No party has registered such a colossal and staggering victory in Delhi, the reasons are many, I’d attempt to list as many as possible:
BJP has traditionally relied on the ‘polarisation effect’ to take it across the line. BJP will polarise voters where it can. Academic works testify...

A Response to Charlie Hebdo Attack: ‘Nous ne sommes pas apologistes’
Mr. Mostaghanem, as a Muslim, refuses to apologize for the attack on Charlie Hebdo-so far, so good. Asking Muslims, as a whole, to apologize for murder committed by fundamentalists is insulting to Muslims and reactionary. The crimes of the few do not necessitate obsequious loyalty oaths from the many. The realm of ideas offers much to be seized upon by anyone, and can be employed towards ends both noble and otherwise. In America, Christians murder homosexuals,...

Ah, Paris, the proverbial city of ‘love’ has been transformed into a garrison following the Charlie Hebdo killings believed to be carried out by gunmen affiliated with AQAP. Even before the Kouachi brothers were identified as the prime suspects of the shooting, the mainstream media and the social media was abuzz with demands that ‘Muslims’ collectively should condemn and apologize for the attack. Social media went one-step further, with people tweeting using the hashtag ‘killallmuslims’ calling for a genocide of all Muslims regardless...

If we define values as “principles or standards of behaviour”, then torture is certainly an American value, contrary to Obama’s statement that “some of the actions that were taken were contrary to our values.”[i] Last week’s release of a Senate Intelligence Committee report summary on CIA abuses under the administration George W. Bush is only the latest chapter in the macabre history of the CIA.
When Obama took office in 2009, he promised to make a clean break with the past and repudiated the use of torture as a method of intelligence...

Was she born in the sub-Himalayan Galiyat region of Pakistan to save its forests from becoming firewood for a growing population of the valleys? A look at her persona, and a peep into her thoughts and ideas suggest it might indeed have been so.
Sabiha Zaman is small and lean, but the look on her face and the callouses on her hands show she has the power and the willingness to fight and beat a jungle fire if ever one broke out down these swaying slopes.
Each morning, she leaves her home in Mulachh village near the famous tourist destination of Nathiagali,...
